Hello All:

I have finally gotten DSL with a Westell modem. My question is this:



I have the modem set to "Bridge Ethernet" connected to a router. I
have 5

computers (2 are Linux). One of them is a WIndwos 2000 server
(DNS,AD) How

do I set up the IP address for each machine. The router is set for
DHCP

which I do not want. The DSL modem's local IP is 192.168.1.254 and the

router is 192.168.1.150. So, my server is static at
IP: 192.168.1.100
mask 255.255.255.0
DNS 192.168.1.100

Gateway - this is my question is it the routers IP or modem

So basically the rest of the computers will be like the server except
the IP's will be 192.168.1.1 thru 192.168.1.5 Again, I want to disable
DHCP in the router and assign the 5 machines static IP's but I am not
sure how to configure the gateway since this is my way out to the
Internet. So currently my router is still configured for DHCP so when
I ipconfig /all on a windows client it returns
This:
IP: 192.168.1.1
DHCP: 192.168.150
Gateway: 192.168.150
DNS: 192.168.1.150

When I tried to statically assign the IP settings with the same
above, I was not able to get out to the Internet but the DHCP does.

Odd. Could you even ping your router's LAN IP at 192.168.1.150 then?

See I don't want the router to assign IP's because of the server
which is my local DNS.

Hmmm. That shouldn't stop you from using DHCP at all. I think static IPs for
workstations are a pain, even on a small network. I suggest you just disable
DHCP in your router and install it on your domain controller instead....

003 Router (internal IP of your router - 192.168.1.150)
006 DNS servers (LAN IP of your DC/DNS box - 192.168.1.100)
015 DNS Domain Name (e.g., mydomain.local)
044 WINS/NBNS Servers (LAN IP of your WINS server if you run it -
192.168.1.100)
046 WINS/NBT Node Type (0x8)

You may not be using WINS, but I usually recommend it. .
